Bad Tick Filter for Amibroker IQFeed Plugin
By Dave Mabe
Some of you have noticed some very annoying bad ticks on charts when using Amibroker and IQFeed.
You would see a normal-looking chart and then, all of a sudden, a crazy wick would appear.
Then, when you do a "Force Backfill," the wick would disappear.
I finally got both Amibroker and IQFeed talking to each other about this issue, and I'm happy to see a fix has finally emerged.
There's a new version of the IQFeed Plugin for Amibroker that filters the appropriate ticks in real time to match how IQFeed builds bars for their historical feed.
Thanks to Tomasz from Amibroker and Trent from IQFeed for pulling this together.
Here's a link to the Amibroker forum where you can try the new plugin:
